cleaning the oven

kezlou

i put the hob rings etc in a bath filled with hot water and washing powder left over night.
Then wash the top over with hot soapy water and white vinegar.
This isn't done very often:o so its take ages.

I use soda crystals liquid variety - just spray on, leave for a while, then use a pan scrubber in case of any hard to shift muck, then wipe off with a cloth. Mind you I am a vegan so there are no nasty animal fats to try and scrape off!

When we moved in to this house the oven was filthy (the story of my life - I'm sick of cleaning muck of ovens when we move house), but I read somewhere on here that if you put a cup of ammonia in the oven and leave it overnight it's easy to clean, so I did that and it worked a treat!

I should have voted other, but went for the one that mentioned elbow grease. I tend to use just a damp cloth to soak the yucky bits and then get scrubbing. I have been known to use bicarb on occasion though.

I seem to be the only one who uses stardrops. I clean it every couple of months s I suppose it never gets too bad. I find it just wipes clean quite easily. Mind you, I do want to get one of those silicone liners to save even doing that!

Thanks for the replies so far.

Looks like I'm going to try some Oven Pride and see how I get on.

Oven sterilises itself every time you switch it on in my book. I avoid cooking anything uncovered that is going to spit too much fat around.............but then I've served my time as a family cook and have become a self indulgent lazy mare now!

My cooker is 18 years old and it gets a wipe over with star drops once a week and I chuck some cream cleaner around once in a while, but usually cover things so nothing splashes too much. However I decided to treat it recently and both 2 packets of oven pride from Home Bargains. It really wasn't that dirty but it sparkles like a new cooker now, I was soooo excited (sad I know)
It might have to wait another 18 years before I do it again though!
